Mets Place Justin Wilson On 10-Day IL; MRI Clean For DeGrom

By Jeff Todd | April 22, 2019 at 6:18pm CDT

The Mets announced today that they’ve placed southpaw reliever Justin Wilson on the 10-day injured list, as Tim Britton of The Athletic was among those to cover (Twitter links). He’s experiencing elbow soreness, but the club indicated it anticipates a brief IL stint after receiving the results of an MRI.

The imaging gods are shining on Queens, it seems. Ace starter Jacob deGrom’s MRI came back negative, so his elbow scare appears to be just that. deGrom was able to throw a pen session earlier today; it seems likely he’ll be ready for activation at or near the 10-day minimum.

A few other roster tweaks are also in the books. The Mets activated third baseman Todd Frazier, as anticipated, and called up infielder Luis Guillorme. (Guillorme boosts the infield depth further with both Robinson Cano and Amed Rosario dealing with minor issues.) To create an additional active roster spot, the Mets optioned down righty Paul Sewald.

Wilson’s absence leaves a notable hole in the New York pen — though the hope is it’s only a temporary one. Wilson has thrown 8 1/3 useful innings to open the year, allowing three earned runs on six hits with eight strikeouts and four walks. There are two other southpaws available in Luis Avilan and Daniel Zamora, but the former has been torched while the latter hasn’t yet pitched in the bigs this season.

      I’ve never seen a worse pen arm on the Mets than Sewald. Worse than oli Perez guy just gives up runs every time out

    Just from pictures, it looks like they made Wilson throw from a higher angle than before.

      There was disagreement over whether or not to give deGrom and MRI; hence at first yes, then no and then they did it anyway.

      Here’s the inside truth. Fred ended up
      winning as he wanted to save in the cost of the test. Instead he had Jeff take a
      Photo with his new Galaxy 10 photo which they submitted to the Mets’ medical staff. No issues were found when they read the images.

        Maybe the yanks could use your theories to cure their medical problems

          The Yankees have had injuries not medical problems which have plagued the Mets for years.

          I’m referring to mixed signals like:

          -He’s going on the IL and will get an MRI.
          -Well no he doesn’t need an MRI.
          -Actually he is fine but will get an MRI.

          And Man, what about the Cespedes fiasco-multiple seasons of missed diagnosis?

          Oh you can squeak, what about Ellsbury? However the Yankees don’t want nor need him and the Mets keep praying for Cespedes.

    And wouldn’t you know, Swarzak is off to an excellent start with the M’s.

      It’s only 7 1/3 innings. He is a career scrub and that will show as the season goes along lol

        I get that it’s early, but I feel like when many journey men pitchers come to the Mets, they perform much worse than they have before. The Mets have also given up on some pitchers that wind up having success after leaving the team (Darren O’Day, Joe Smith, Collin McHugh; to name a few). Chasen Bradford had a nice under the radar season last year.

          Meh these mid tier relivers never stick for a reason. It’s hard to find a reliever who is terrific year in and year out like betances is for example. The Mets won’t miss swarzak at all

          Heath Bell was a guy they should have never given up on. Still young and went on to have a few solid all star seasons.

    Avilan is exactly the reason Spring Training stars mean nothing.
